The honorable Gov. Gwendolyn F. Garcia graced the opening of the University Foundation Week today, August 20, 2007, at the USC Talamban Campus.
Gov. Gwendolyn F. Garcia speaks during the opening of the Corporate Social Responsibility exhibits at the lobby of Bunzel Building.
Gov. Garcia expressed her gratitude to USC on choosing the theme, "Beyond Borders, Within Worlds" and emphasizing the University's Corporate Social Responsibility. She said that now more than ever, public and private partnership is important. "No man... no woman... can do this alone," Gov. Garcia remarked on social responsibility.
The day started with a Holy Mass attended by the University community who filled to capacity the Church of St. Arnold and St. Joseph. USC President Fr. Roderick C. Salazar Jr., SVD celebrated the Mass along with his confreres. Reflecting the theme of the Foundation Week, prayers were offered in four languages.
The Opening Mass at the Church of St. Arnold and St. Joseph was well attended by the USC community.
Afterwards, Fr. Salazar read the statement of USC's Corporate Social Responsibility. Part of the document emphasized the Carolinian's identity and the theme, "We have seen with our eyes and touched with our hands... we witness to the Word beyond our borders, within our worlds." Copies of the statement were then given to representatives from the four campuses.
